M!spunktuation
Jewels

About: I've
always imagined pieces worn by characters from literature, heroines and
adventurers of history and fiction, and even reinvented my own jewelry
collection because it was simply not ME. I make pieces for those women (and
men!) who aren't part of the mold, don't want cookie-cutter jewelry and
accessories because THEY aren't cookie-cutter either.

While my educational background consists of art history, genetics,
anthropology, and forensics, it's my dabbling in art and DIY that has allowed
for me to take my visions of what jewelry should DO for the wearer and make
pieces which are both relevant today and will be decades from now.

Ranging from light-weight simple neck pieces to be layered, metallic bejeweled
body chains with ethnic flair, and hand-sculpted pieces that are a bit more
eccentric, m!spunktuation is both edgy and rebellious. Bones and blood cell
necklaces, Game of Throne-inspired rings, and pieces with mixed elements can
only be found here.

With every piece, I encourage everyone to find their uncommon.

What You’ll Find: Beautiful, edgy,
hand-sculpted jewelry

Budget: $8- $50

FM Photographs

About: Well, I am from Italy, and my day job
hasn't anything to do with arts, unfortunately. That said, since I was a teen I
had a passion for photography. I began taking photographs with an old russian
made Zenith camera that my father once gave me, and since then I never stopped.

At first fascinated with landscape and nature photography, in the last few
years my subjects changed a bit, and I'm now interested in street and travel
photography, as well as candid portraits.

I like to photograph anything that spurs
an emotion in me, and I always try to convey that emotion to anyone is looking
at my photographs.
About a year ago I finally decided to open an Etsy shop for my photographic
prints, and since then I have been trying to sell them, without much luck, till
now ;)

and use the code HUCKLEBERRY13 to receive 10% off of all photographs.

Emily Alice

About: I'm Emmie (Emily) - from Emily Alice :)

I am a jeweller, based in the UK. I make sterling silver and gold plated
jewellery - handmade in my studio. (by me)

I'm a fan of living green, so my packaging is made from recycled materials -
even the ribbon. I don't use strong acids in my studio anymore, only vinegar. I
also plant a tree for every piece I sell.

My work is inspired by happiness, love, passion and the science behind them - I
make jewellery that represents molecules like serotonin and dopamine. But, I
approach my subject from an artistic foundation rather than a purely science
angle. I studied silversmithing at university and pride myself on creating very
high quality pieces and commissions for my customers.

About: I started my shop a couple of years ago
when I was going through my collection of vintage sewing patterns. I have
always had a deep love for vintage sewing patterns ever since I got my very
first one from my grandmother over 5 years ago. Since then I have been
collecting them, but my collection has grown to a point where I wasn't truly
cherishing the ones that I have. So I wanted to share them with others.

Since the birth of my son in August of 2011, I have been much more motivated to
get my shop growing. I adore sewing and that is the main focus of my hard work.
I find sitting at my sewing machine immensely therapeutic and I could sit there
making things for hours on end.

My hope is that people will cherish each and every one of my creations as much
as I cherish making them.

What You’ll Find: I love making things for little ones,
especially car-seat blankets, clothes, and backpacks for toddlers. During the
Holiday's, you can find Christmas stockings, tree skirts, and more.

Budget: $3- $60

Your Special Discount: Visit Young Texan Mama now thru December 15th
